Porting the complete Opie environment to the N770 would just add up to the fragmentation. Writing a Qt Hildon compatibility layer would make [some] Opie applications run next to the other Hildon applications while retaining their look and feel. >But Maemo is still a new, incompatible > system (ok there's some compatibility with gtk+) and writing a compatibility layer for > Qt makes the situation even worse.

Maemo has a much better Linux technology integration and a much better look and feel. Opie has some great applications, but the complete environment lacks many things to come even near to being an alternative to a Maemo standard installation. -- Regards, Mickey. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Dipl.-Inf.
